PRONUNCIATION JOURNEY
_____________________________________________This is a pronunciation game for Brazilian learners of English. Brazilians speaking English often reduce unstressed final syllables so much that they are inaudible. For example, taxi sounds like tax. This game is to raise awareness of this problem.

PROCEDURE
1.

Give out or project PRONUNCIATION JOURNEY.

2.

Point out the pair cook-cookie at the bottom of the page. Explain that if they hear cook, they should turn left and if they hear cookie they should turn right. Now say 1. cook, 2. cook, 3. cookie, 4. cook and ask students which city they have reached (answer = Singapore).

3.

Try a few more examples using other word pairs. You may use words from different pairs at each of the junctions 1-4, for example 1. cookie, 2. cop, 3. coffee, 4. dirty = Tokyo.

4.

When students are completely familiar with the procedure, get one vo lunteer to say words from the word pairs. Advise the reader to make the difference between the left and right words very clear! You and the rest of the class should follow and identify the city. If anybody reaches the wrong destination, get them to work out where they went wrong. Was it because the reader didn't make the difference clearly enough?

5.

Students can now work in pairs. They take turns to be reader and listener, guiding each other to one of the city destinations. Remind the readers to make the difference between the left and right words very clear, otherwise their partners will reach the wrong city!

You are your worst enemy
In my opinion, the every important lesson that many people are not aware of in reaching their goal is overcoming themselves. We are living in the fast ever changing world. The world now is busy more than ever due to the development of human society. Therefore, there are much more physical activities involved in our daily life as the result of development in society compared to the past. I believe that everyone has their favorite physical activities, hobby, sports or job that they love or hate. I’m not an exception. As a student, I’m buried in school works, job and relationship … etc. To balance my life and to release stress, I need to find an activity that I really enjoying doing and that it’s working out in the gym. I would highly recommend it because working out gives you a healthy life style and it can be very fun. Working out is the activity that I enjoy, have fun doing and it makes me forget about every stressful thing in my daily life. According to researching, when we work out, our body produces chemical called endorphins which help us to improve our mood and feel happier. Overtime, working out does not only help me to release stress but also I learn many important things about life and things around me from working out. To be successful in this sport, I have to put in tremendous amount of effort, dedication and also passion. The most important...

Young Canadians Making A Difference
The article I have selected to analyze for this culminating activity can be found here:
http://www.yorkregion.com/news-story/1435963-not-too-young-to-make-difference/
1. The individual involved in this article is a 10-year-old Newmarket resident, Madison McBride.
2. Madison has organized many fundraising events in which raised money is donated to charities. Some events include holding garage sales and opening lemonade stands where raised money were donated to organizations such as Canadian Lung Association. Recently, she has organized a Walk for our Future for youth where thousands of raised money have been donated for breast cancer research.
3. Madison has been very successful with her fundraising events and continues to be. Any amount of money raised is a form of success because that money is very useful when donated to certain organizations or charities. She has event made an impact on her school staff and students. They have held a lasagna luncheon and bake sale and raised up to a total of $500 for Madison’s Walk for the Future cause. She was also invited to speak about her cause at various schools in her region.
4. Although everything we do involves some sort of obstacle, I believe Madison has overcome what many would view to be her greatest obstacle: age. Age is often a huge obstacle for young...

...type of response. A general discussion of socialisation is not entirely inappropriate in relation to the question, though the relevance is somewhat marginal and so an answer that is based solely on this approach would merit no more than 10 marks. A better answer within this band would demonstrate some awareness that the social identities associated with childhood, to some extent, vary historically and/or across cultures. A few basic references to Aries' work, for example, would be sufficient to reach the top of the band. Likewise, the use of cross-cultural examples of differences in childhood would be a way to demonstrate a basic understanding of the requirements of the question.
(13–18) A sound account of Aries' contribution to the debate about the social construction of childhood, with little or no assessment, would merit the lower part of the band. Similarly, a reasonably detailed description of cross-cultural examples of differences in childhood would be worth up to 15 marks. To reach the top part of the band, however, there needs to be some assessment of the view expressed in the question. This could be in the form of a critique of Aries' work or the evaluation might be developed through identifying a wider range of historical and/or cultural evidence to support the notion that childhood is a social construct. At this level, the assessment will lack subtlety and range.
(19–25) As for the top of the previous band, though the assessment...

Re: Final
Processing the crime scene will be essential to bringing forth criminal charges against any assailant of the crime of rape. In the case of a rape the prime crime scene is the rape victim. Biological evidence is inevitably left behind. There could in this instance be evidence left behind on sheets. In this scenario the bed of the ‘No Tell Motel’ will likely have some physical evidence such as hairs, bodily secretions, possibly condoms left behind in the trash or flushed down the toilet, clothing of the victim or the assailant. The crime scene has been contaminated by sightseers from the motel (management), and visiting officers which will open up the defense to alleging destructive, tampering of evidence and evidence tampering. Evidence will have been destroyed. In this case statutory rape charges will likely be the charge involved, endangering the welfare of a child, or both. Rape charges would be contingent on the cooperation of the victim. It will be necessary to have a degree of cooperation from the victim and or witness in this type of case.
In the case of a rape of this nature there are actually two crimes scenes, the hotel room and the victim. If the victim cooperates, there may be bodily fluids left on both of them and at the scene of the crime/ attack. The room should be sealed off and access denied to non-essential officials...
